o'clock a light was seen in the neighbor-

The merchant does not want it for
he knows its sleepless nights and
heartrending exactions. He knows
that the merchant who sells goods
on time is an Object of pity as rule
for by reason of those who cannot
pay, and those who will not, he is
forced to charge those who do pay
such exhorbitant rates that he is
ashamed Of it himself. But some
body must pay the losses by this
Credit System, or the merchant fails.
Be sure OF that, you who pay.
Now whether we sell you a dol

of the credit system-take the side
of the Almighty Dollar; it is the
only safe, certain side TO stand on.
1t is the common sense of it and true
that all regular lines of merchandise

Manufacturer, Importer or Agent to
the Jobber, from the Jobber to the

Curious Central African Peoples.

The Rev. r. j. Comber,a Baptist mis-.
sionary, has given to the Royal Geo
graphical Society anaccoant Of his voy-
age, Ia company with the Rev. George
Grcnfell and ia the missionary steamer
Pea e, up the Congo to the Bangala, and
up the Bochini to the junction Of the
Kwango. The width of the river, from
Stanley Pool to the Bochini, varies from
twelve hundred yards to two miles, It
is swift and strong, and navigation has
to be performed carefully, on account Of
up-cropping feldspathic rocks. An in
teresting feature of the first days sail
was the little clusters OF huts on til sand
banks in twos fours, aud cixes. inhab-
tied by Ba-BGma people, who sold beer
and caught fish, The people are ru'ed
by Queen, Nga Nkabc. whose husband,
or Prince consort, y Nchielo, knows his
place, and sits quietly BY. smoking his
pipe meekly and philosoph;cally, while
his wife rules She is tall, brawny. and
digniied, and about fifty years old, but
did not seem to think it beneath her to
take her paddle, and, entering into IL
little canoe with another woman, to 20
herself to cut US bunch of
plantains. . Her great desire was
to possess double barreled gun,
and she was evidently pleased
with present Of cloths, big bell, sol
dier's great. coat, and some brass. The
Ba- Ruma were the best specimens Of the
African encountered on the journey. The
women wear brass collars weighing
from twenty-five to thirty pounds. The
most primitive people seen BY the trav-
eiers were the Ikelemba. about the great
Ruki River, who go about with bow and
arrow, or spears and shell, or MUIR
derous sacriicial knife, weir.ng hats
made Of monkey skins. OF which the
head of the animal comes to the front OF
their heads, while thu tail hangs down
behind. They are cruel, ingeniously
cruel, and indulge among other amuse-
ments in chasing their human victims
across the country as our hunters would
chase q fox Another exercise Of their
braves is inficting death by the knife
in which the head OF the victim is so
adjusted that, when it is cut off by q
blow of q sicklc-shaped knife, it is tossed

Among the Gas. Wells.

A group Of burning wells north Of
Washington, Penn, has presented many
grand and beautiful night scenes.
Though several miles apart, they appear
at q distan 9, to be close together, a nd
their light int.rmingles. On dark
night, with all of them burning, they
make a great show. These wells in
full blast-with those fianking them on
the right and on the left, with the broad
glare Of those at Wellsburg, w. Va,
showing twenty miles to the northwest,
and with those at Murraysville, Pa,
thirty niles to the northeast-make a
scene which would terrlfy stranger. if
he should come upon 1t unaware of the
existence of such things as burning gas
wells. 1t would only need columns of
fiery lava to convince him that the whole
region was full Of v,Icanoes. And his
terror would doubtless be completewhen
he saw a great fiery column shoot syk-
ward, unless he was made aware of the
real cause of the phenmenon, when he
would remain to admire what moment
before had iilled him with alarm. The
explanation of the sudden burst of fame
is that it is necessary often to blow
outo the wells and the pipes leading to
the regulator, to keep them from being
clogged by the salt which gathers in the
pipes from the saltwater thrown up by
the gas. The fow Of the gas is stopped
for moment; and when again released,
the gas drives everything before it into
the open air. The escaping gas is burned
at the regulator. The effect of the sud-
den increased pressure is to shoot q
tongue Of flame, Kissing and roaring,
high in the air. On 4 misty night,

One Of the .homeiest' places we ever

of any extravaganza in that line. Three
hundred dollars would have covered the
cost Of all the furniture in the house, but
it was place we always enjoyed visit
ing. The head Of the family was always
jolly and ready to take hand in game,
and his nine children, always hearty and
full of fun, did not care to be out in the
evenings. The girls did sewing and
knitting as they grew old enough, and
the boys were often found making
something" but no evening passed that
one did not have something to read to
the others-an anecdote or story
something either to amuse or instruct.
But the main secret Of the + happiness,
if it was 4 secret, lay in the fact that
worrying and ffetting were banished.
One groWlergor fretter will spoil q whole
family. Fathers, mothers, don't allow
fauit-finding spirit to spoil the pleasure

it yourselves. Have as coy and com
